YUM! I also prebaked my bacon before wrapping the asparagus and it turned out perfect. I didn't have time to do the oil so I just drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with garlic powder. They were awesome but I will definitely do it properly next time. Thanks!

oh dear...these are so delish!!! i prebaked my bacon for about 10 minutes, then i tossed the asparagus with the oil, then wrapped in bacon. i didn't need toothpicks, because i just wrapped a whole piece around the stalks. i think precooking the bacon results in crispy bacon without overcooked asparagus. thanks so much for such a keeper recipe! every asparagus lover should try this...the flavor is insane!! thanks again, marie!

These were fantastic!!!!!!!!!! I loved the bacon and the garlic...mmmmm. I didn't use toothpics to hold the bacon to the asparagus, and I used extra bacon instead of just one slice. I took 2 slices per 4 asparagus and put them in an X fashion. I then took the top and alternate bottom of the bacon and I tied them across the asparagus and I did the same with the other side. Worked wonderfully. Will definitely be a regular staple in my house from now on.

Pairing bacon and asparagus is such a winning idea. Adding garlic is even better. We loved these bundles as a side to our Mustard Lamb Chops (#11581), but could also see these being served as the main course with a salad and rice pilaf. Our garlic did burn a bit as we waited for the bacon to crisp. In the future, we will drizzle the bunches of asparagus with the garlic before wrapping with bacon, in order to keep the tender garlic away from the high heat. I can't wait for my own fresh asparagus to start producing.
